    Abstract:

By deducing characterisations of the matrices which have maximal determinant in the set of matrices with given entry sum and square sum, we prove the inequality $ ertdet Mert le ertlphaert(eta-delta)^{(n-1)/2}$ for real $ n 	imes n$-matrices $ M$, where $ n lpha$ and $ n eta$ are the sum of the entries and the sum of the squared entries of $ M$, respectively, and $ delta := (lpha^2-eta)/(n-1)$, provided that $ lpha^2 ge eta$. This result is applied to find an upper bound for the determinant of a matrix whose entries are a permutation of an arithmetic progression.
